Abstract

This study presents a detailed investigation of classical exam questions of chemistry courses in two of largest metropolitan cities of Turkey, in Istanbul and Izmit. The reference of the investigation was on the basis of Bloom’s Taxonomy, concentrating on the cognitive levels of the questions.

The types of schools comprised Anatolian High Schools, Ordinary High Schools, and Vocational and Commercial High Schools. A total of 1593 questions from 143 exam papers, collected from twenty chemistry teachers, were analyzed. Categorical analysis by school type and city was performed.

The results indicate that 33.6% of the questions were at the lower-order cognitive skills (e.g., Knowledge and Comprehension) on the basis of Bloom’s Taxonomy.
